Then caught them again at Anaheim Stadium when Hassan Jones pulled in a Wade Wilson Hail Mary in the last game before the strike ('87 team)

Nice!

The Vikings calendar the following season there was a great pic. of that catch.

I had painted a huge Norseman with "GO VIKES" and hung it from the upper deck. Using an old sheet, and some purple paint.

That day was Anthony Carters birthday, so I shouted "Happy birthday AC!" After warm ups going into the locker room, he gave me a nice smile and wave.

Took some nice pictures that are buried away somewhere with my 35mm camera.
AC is ALL LEGS.  Couple nice pics of Studwell during team warmups, and nice shot of Wilson and Kramer.

Some Rams fan near the end said "better luck next time" to me...high fiving all his buddies.
Then Jones pulled in that ball for the win and the guys dick fell off.

Don't think I will make that unfortunately.  MN trip in August and no vacation time left after that,  makes it financially difficult and would be just to daunting.   But who knows will see what happens and if there is any way I can work out out I will.

Sure wish it was a Nov or Dec game...My kids in Alta Dena and I sure love to head down there when it's cold or getting colder here (also known as 9 mos of the year).
